SLAV 1066 - TABOO DESIRES THROUGH A GLOBAL LENS: EXPLORING SEX, LOVE, & UNCONVENTIONAL ROMANCE IN FILM & LITMinimum Credits: 3 Maximum Credits: 3 Long Description This course explores how literature and cinema portray relationships that defy social, cultural, and moral expectations from adolescent love and love triangles to LGBTQ+ relationships, teenage pregnancy, and cross-class or power-imbalanced affairs. Through close readings and film analysis, students will examine how artists across eras and cultures challenge conventional gender roles, expose the tensions between personal desire and public morality, and redefine the boundaries of intimacy. Drawing on Slavic, Central Asian, European, and American works, the course highlights how different artistic traditions reinterpret universal themes of love, guilt, freedom, and transgression. Students will reflect on how depictions of desire and intimacy reveal the vulnerability, defiance, and complexity at the heart of human connection.
